What separates truly great long-running anime from those that fizzle out is a clear sense of purpose. Some shows chase popularity instead of a strong story, filling episodes with repetitive plots or unnecessary tangents, which ultimately weakens what made them appealing in the first place. But the best anime treat every moment with care. When each episode feels meaningful, even hundreds of episodes in, the show becomes more than just a weekly broadcast – it becomes an unforgettable journey.

Here is an overview of the game, via Arc System Works:

Nintendo’s lawsuit against the developers of the game Palworld, Pocketpair, recently hit a snag. According to WindowsCentral, the Japan Patent Office (JPO) rejected one of the patents Nintendo claimed was violated. The two companies have been in court since 2024, with Nintendo seeking around $33,000 in damages based on three patents. However, the JPO determined that one of those patents wasn’t innovative enough to be granted – meaning Nintendo couldn’t prove it was a unique invention at the time it was filed. The JPO pointed to similar games like ARK, Monster Hunter 4, and Pokémon GO as evidence.

Grimm is a television series that first aired on NBC on October 28, 2011, and ran for six seasons with a total of 123 episodes. Inspired by classic fairy tales, the show follows Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) as he discovers he’s a Grimm – a descendant of monster hunters tasked with maintaining peace between the human world and dangerous creatures known as Wesen. The series also stars Elizabeth Tulloch, Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee, Bree Turner, and Claire Coffee.

Since the Wano Country arc, One Piece has consistently delivered some of its best-animated episodes ever. Surprisingly, the animation quality continued to improve during the Egghead Incident arc. This allowed the anime to nearly catch up to the manga, leading to a six-month break mid-arc. Unfortunately, even that wasn’t enough to resolve ongoing production problems, and Toei Animation recently announced the series will now release only 26 episodes each year. Despite this significant change, the show’s pacing issues are expected to remain.

It will be available in the following editions:

This powerful, godlike figure arrives to calm the chaos in the angelic realm and address Lute’s desire for revenge. Their calm but commanding demeanor immediately changes the atmosphere of the story. They listen intently to Sir Pentious’ tale, and their introduction hints at a connection to obscure biblical stories – a connection that could shape the entire future of the series.

Both Thor and Orion, powerful superhero figures, were shaped by the work of comic book legend Jack Kirby. At Marvel, Kirby teamed up with Stan Lee to create Thor, who first appeared in 1962. Later, seeking more creative control, Kirby moved to DC Comics in 1971. There, he developed his most ambitious project: the Fourth World and the New Gods. This introduced a new group of deities split between the forces of good, led by Highfather on the planet New Genesis, and the evil forces of Darkseid on the planet Apokolips. Orion, a key character from this series and intended to be DC’s answer to Thor, is the New God of War and Darkseid’s son.

The Absolute Batman graphic novels and the Absolute Universe series have been very popular, and fans are already hoping to see them adapted into animated form. While there’s no official announcement yet, one of the creators of Absolute Batman has a fantastic idea for an anime version.

The Twilight Zone was a groundbreaking science fiction series, and it was the first to openly address the anxieties hidden beneath the seemingly cheerful and successful facade of American life before the assassination of President Kennedy.
